We met through mutual friends at Wisconsin Lutheran College in spring of 2024 (thanks Sheveys). Our first date was to the Milwaukee County Zoo where it poured rain. We rushed into the nearest building and a kind zookeeper let us feed the giraffes. That summer we became inseparable, spending time together with friends, on dates, and traveling. We enjoy thrifting, watching movies & sports, getting outside & camping, and going to concerts together. We got engaged in September 2025 at sunrise at an overlook at Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Abby is currently getting her masters in clinical psychology at Western Carolina University and Tyler works as a medical examiner in Wisconsin. We thank God for all the blessings in our lives and we look forward to growing in His grace together.
